Hubballi: The Hubballi-Dharwad Police Commissionerate is introducing two new towing vehicles for seizing four-wheelers parked in “No Parking” zones, to streamline the vehicular traffic in busy areas.

Speaking to reporters in Hubballi, Police Commissioner Panduranga Rane said the new towing-vehicles would be functional within a week in twin cities. The new vehicles would be set up with a special mechanism involving two additional wheels under the rear wheels of the cars, so that no damage is caused while towing. This mechanism is being used for the first time in the state, Commissioner said.

Integrated command centre
An integrated command centre is being set-up at the police commissioner’s office, where all the CCTV cameras and 22 watch towers in the twin cities would be linked with wireless facility, which would help in monitoring traffic, crime, law and Order situation from one place, he said.

The new centre would cost around Rs 75 Lakh for which special grants of HDMC would be utilised, he said adding that the Commissionerate also plans to procure a command vehicle with cameras and other surveillance facilities for better policing. This vehicle to be purchased would be used during processions, protests, VIP movement and on other such special occasions, he informed.
